Coccidioidomycosis, is it potentially fatal?

In brief:
Often not fatal

For most otherwise healthy people coccidioidomycosis is a mild self-limited disease.

Probably a surprisingly high percentage of the us population has been exposed without knowing it. Those with hiv/aids or some other immunodeficiency are at risk for more severe or disseminated disease, which can most certainly be fatal.
